Down Carrier
The choices for pet carriers have become dizzying! You can spend anywhere from $30 up to $1,000. There are pink carriers, crocodile-style, and genuine leather carriers, carriers that allow your dog’s head to stick out and other carriers that make it impossible to guess there is a dog inside.
When shopping for a carrier there are functional things to consider first. After that, it is all a matter of style and personal taste. Shopping for a dog carrier is much like shopping for a new purse.
When you are planning an elegant evening out you might shop for a small purse just to carry an ID, a small amount of cash and essential cosmetics. For daytime you might choose a large purse that will carry everything under the sun you might possibly need in a day’s time. You most likely will need room for checkbooks, keys, a wallet, makeup bag, books, coupons, and on and on. Different tasks require different sizes and styles of purses. The same is true with dog carriers.
Your dog may prefer some dog carriers over others.
Quality
• Does the pet carrier have a sturdy bottom? A sturdy bottom can help to make your dog feel secure while being transported in the carrier.
• Check to be sure there is not protruding pieces of hardware or plastic that could injure your pet.
• Is the carrier soft inside?
• A nice, removable pad in the bottom that you can wash is essential for your dog carrier.
• Are the straps securely attached to the bag and sturdy? You do not want them to break while carrying your dog.
Style
After reviewing the pet carriers available you will probably find several bags that are functional for you and your pet. After that, it is becomes all about personal style. There are choices from pink to serious plaid and briefcase styles.
What does your dog think about the carrier?
If your dog screams, shakes and tries to jump out of the carriers you choose, he probably needs a little help from you to learn that carriers provides him with more and fun and freedom with you on the go. Teach your dog that his carrier is a great place to be. Start with tossing a treat in the bag and allow him to jump in the bag to retrieve the treat. Place him gently in the bag and give him treats. Make a big fuss of him inside the bag. Have a special word to say to him each time you place him in the carrier so he knows what to expect and give him his treats. Take some time to acclimate your dog to the carrier before you actually take him on a trip inside the carrier.

Beco Butterfly II Carrier – Lauren $139 The Beco Butterfly II Carrier is the new definition of style, function and safety in soft structured carriers. From infancy through toddler hood (7-45 lbs), fast and simple on and off, front and back carry, designer fabrics, durable and machine washable; plus with an organic cotton shell, you can’t go wrong with Beco. Made in the USA! What Makes the Beco Carrier Different? Removable Infant Insert Beco Butterfly 2 is the ONLY carrier on the market with this (patent pending) feature. Infant insert enables even the smallest babies to ride safely and comfortably, in ergonomically proper position in our baby carrier. Infant insert can be removed once baby outgrows the need for it. Recommended use for infant insert is 7-15 lbs. Infant insert is INCLUDED with purchase, NO not need to purchase any accessory in order to have a complete package. Security Inside Panel The shoulder straps of the baby carrier are attached to the carrier’s inside panel, which improves the distribution of the baby’s weight (thus the carrier is VERY comfortable for the wearer and the baby), and it enables parent’s to pass baby from one wearer to another without taking the baby out of the carrier (very convenient feature). Inside panel contributes to the safe use of the carrier (baby sits between this panel and the outside main body of the carrier, these two components together creates a harness for baby’s body), also loading baby on wearer’s back is much safer and easier with this inside panel, because it prevents baby from slipping down (or falling out). Main Features: From newborn to toddler Front and back carry Comfortable and stylish design Shell is made with 100% organic cotton Machine washable DVD included Made in the USA! Special Features: Removable infant insert that allows baby to sit upright Removable headrest Security inside panel Special Values: Stylish designer prints and fabrics For use from infant to 45 lbs, no need to purchase more than one carrier!
